Thomas,

You said, "No, I didn't say that". But they certainly have more right to do that than we had to fight in Vietnam."

I'm glad you got a laugh out of my post, but you never answered my question, except by saying "No, I didn't say that" but never backed it up. You through up a smoke screen about Vietnam!

I can go into the details later with you of my post, which can all be verified. However, lets not waste our time. (By the way, it is a copy and paste, from an email I got from a friend! But its all true fact, so why can I shouldn't I post it!) Lets go to the heart of the matter, and this statement you made.

"I'm not a big fan of violence in a religion, but on an ethical level, that makes perfect sense. If someone wages wear on you, or provides support for someone who wages war on you, one should fight back."

Answer this question please! You said the Muslims have the right to defend themselves against us because we support Israel, right?

Well, some Muslims did so in the horrendous acts of 9/11, as the Quran dictates. And they did so to the letter of their scripture. Do you think they were justified in doing so?

Here is the scripture again, straight from the Quran...

[at-Taubah 9:4] Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye (Muslims) have a treaty, and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported anyone against you. (As for these), fulfil their treaty to them till their term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty (unto Him).
[at-Taubah 9:5] Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Please answer this one question, were the Muslims justified in their acts of 9/11, according to their scripture, and in your opinion?

Sure seems you do according to your past posts!

God Bless,
IGIT
